Galvin Green all the way it’s well worth the money, life time waterproof guarantee, i’ve had a set leak and they no fuss set a new jacket. Still wearing the trousers over 10 years old and as waterproof as the day bought if looked after.
Used to play in the rain when I was younger. Now that I’m older with some injuries, I won’t play in the rain. Want to enjoy my golf and my time outdoors.
800 on a kit is stupid expensive but if it's the only thing that works when it rains more than half the time I guess it's something I would do but ouch I hope they are as durable as a tank
I definitely won't argue that. I figure those types of kit are for prople who live in climates like you. If I lived in Seattle I would invest. I live in Utah it snows alot but it doesn't rain much. I'm going to get a provisional kit because I only need it if it starts to rain during a round so I can finish.
@@lakecityripper yes if I lived in Utah this would not be my choice! It’s for places that get very wet. I’m sure the company would argue that layering would be a good answer for your climate but I have no idea about that - too much bulk makes golf impossible- but then I guess you don’t play in the snow?
Brought Galvin Green waterproofs, Archie top and Alvin trousers. Outstanding performance, expensive yes for what they are, but best waterproofs I have ever had. Did not feel as though I was wearing them. Buy cheap buy twice.
Good video Matt , and welcome to the south where we play golf in wet conditions! I mean, a lot of wet conditions. Rain gear is pretty much a must if you love to play!
Thanks Matt. In the non Goretex suits you get wetter on the inside from condensation! You get what you pay for I guess! Getting a comfy fit that allows you to swing freely makes online purchasing a bit hit or miss. I like the three quarter sleeved tops.
I love that I found your channel really good stuff! I am really enjoying and learning from alot of your content. Keep up the great work and good look on the grind to the champions tour, you can do it!!!
You'll also want some rain gloves. The Footjoy Hydrolite gear is nice. I have the pants (~$130) and the jacket (~$180). The jacket has zip off sleeves so you can turn it into a short sleeve rain jacket for warm weather. I've used them in a 55 degree rain and was warm without having to wear lots of layers underneath so they're pretty versatile for a variety of temps. The nice thing about golfing in the rain is that most people stay home and you practically have the whole course to yourself.
Matt enjoyed the video. Can’t believe how many guys don’t have rain gear? Especially on a buddy trip! There is no way I’m stopping play on a buddy trip! Keep up the great tips!
I love gear and there’s a lot of good stuff out there for light rain. When it’s coming down hard.... or sideways, or ground up (Scotland), it’s hard to beat Zero Restrictions. Their stuff is as good as it gets and you’d love the pants. Adjustable waist and they’re long on length but have buttons so you can adjust them, etc.
Congrats Matt! You have the rain gear. Now, in about 6 weeks you get another Welcome to Georgia - You Ain't in SoCal any Longer moment -- which, when translated, means another trip to buy a winter base layer, windsweater or windsweater vest and a stretchy winter jacket!!!! Great video.
From my point of view the best is Galvin Green. A good second choice is the Footjoy stuff. Also an umbrella would be good and also rain gloves. A final thing to consider if you play in the rain a lot is a waterproof golf bag.
How has the Under Armor rain gear worked for you? In my experience I've had great luck with Zero Restriction. They are expensive up front but I've bought all mine on closeout sales when their new models arrive. MUCH cheaper - around $100 for a Goretex jacket. In the warmer weather I prefer the short sleeve (the ZR sleeves come down to your elbow which will keep your shirt dry) that will give better breathing. Cooler weather I go back to full length sleeves. Love your videos. Informative but you have a slightly comical way to keep it light.
Best rain gear period is Galway Bay. And it's made right down there in your neck of the woods in Alpharetta, Ga. No one comes close to their quality, feel, comfort, warmth and rain proof quality. I have been using their products for about 8-10 yrs. I recommend you try them before you decide on more mainstream brands.
Bass Pro/Cabela’s. I paid maybe $150 for 2 sets of rain gear - 1 without lining and 1 with. I keep the unlined suit on my fishing boat and the other on a hanger at the house. When I’m golfing and there’s a threat of rain, the appropriate rain suit comes with me. Affordable and versatile.
I got Galway Bay rain pants and had incredible customer service - yes the owner did call me back as advertised on SiriusXM two years ago when I had problems with an order...I use them often here in the mid atlantic USA...i have the footjoy jacket but rarely use it....invest in a decent pair of rain gloves...the footjoys have gotten me through many a rainy drizzle here or "soft" days in Ireland.
Ireland here I'm not a fan of rain gear but sometimes it's necessary. I go with the under armour jacket but for the pants I wear normal pants with that water resistant surface. That way I'm not changing in and out during the round. The pants are good and even if it rains a lot and the get wet they dry quickly. I should also mention I won't play if it's raining heavy at the start of a round. Loving the videos there great 🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮
Big fan brother. Beginner golfer here... About 3 months in. Very very VERY humbling game. Just a comment to lobby for more giveaways of some of that gear lol.... You got a great setup. Don't want you to become a hoarder or anything
Perfect timing Matt. I've used my snow ski pants and jacket for years. But they are too tight...bought them when I was 14...now I'm 41. Plus there are a few rips and tears from catching on trees and golf carts. So I'm looking for rain gear before the cold months arrive. After shopping around I think I'll stick with ski apparel. Golf apparel is stoopid expensive.
Yea ski gear is expensive too. But I earn enough money to afford the expense for ski gear. Just purchased cargo ski pants and a jacket for $155. They aren't matching brands but I don't see why they won't do the job.
Quick off subject question: I watched a previous video of yours and saw you hitting off a tee with a string attached to it and the mat. Do you have a link or description as what that was? Thanks!!!
Matt you had me laughing from the intro to the end. 😂😂 but rain 🌧 gear is a must in GA. Thanks for insight. I’m going to wait on Clearance Sale or Friday after Thanksgiving.
Welcome to our world in bonnie Scotland.you forgot to get an umbrella. Wait till you have to get a wooly hat, mits, hand warmers, and a flask of soup for the winter.i even got a heated jacket. Waterproofs are in my bag 365 days a year. Ps make sure your camera is waterproof... 😂
Galvin Green is nice and the Goretex is top of the range but $800 is a lot to spend on ‘occasional use’ The UA gear looks nice and pretty sure it will perform just fine for a third of the price.
Jeffrey Yoder if you don’t mind something that could be slightly blemished, check out their clearance area where they sell some screens of certain dimensions that have some imperfection. The price on these ones when available cannot be beat.
I found some sunice gortex rain gear on sale and it was well worth it. I'll never not buy gortex rain gear. If I need something that absolutely must keep me dry, I am willing to pay a little bit for it. The pants and Jacket together were around $380 the sale I found. Well worth it.
Lucky here by my side in South Africa... Live inland, we hardly get rain and if it rain it only rain for a short period never a dull week. Also with our weather we play all year round never had a golf course close. Besides during Lockdown of covid-19
I’m short with a 29” inseam. I stumbled on ProQuip. A little expensive, but worth the expense, fit like a glove are light and best waterproof pants I have ever owned. It was a great investment
Galvin green gortex 💯 Best of best lasts for ever.. Spend the money... Total price id definitely expensive... But if you have for 10+ years.. Works out to nothing.. I just bought a new one.. Only because i wanted a bigger size.. Old one is 15 yrs old looks like new... If i didn't gain weight would still be using.... Hint buy one size bigger... Where i play always have another jacket underneath... But cant stress enough its phenomenal and it lasts.. And best colors out there...
Hi I was wondering about if you can review the NEW RZN GOLF BALLS they are branded RZN i saw them in UK on a website called clubhouse golf i think they are a USA company though.
Hey Matt, do they no longer sell rain gear jackets with the removalable half sleeves? The type Payne Stewart made famous. If it's raining in the GA humidity you will sweat your you-know-what off. Good luck with the full suit. Best, JPM
After that change of clothes I was thinking you could go on America's got talent in the quick change category & with your looks you would be a sure fire winner. See you in the next vide-O !!!
Love your vid Matt. I dont get to wear my rain gears often cos the guys i played with dont like to play in the rain 😂😃. So only get to wear them when playing in the city tournaments during rainy days. We have a local golf store that carry lots of different brand names with reasonable price. Got my whole outfit plus umbrella for less than $150 and only got to wear about 3 times in 7 years 😃😂. I like playing in the rain when it is summer time and no lightnings of course haha. Enjoy your rainy rounds in GA! 👍👍
I just played in the pouring rain and wind without proper rain gear and it was brutal i could barely grip the club and was drenched and lost about 15 to 20 yards on each club except I drove the ball amazing for some reason
Just started to look for rain gear last week, got some trousers by Stormberg from American Golf and still looking for a jacket. My only problem with it all as you said is the cost. I'm a firm believer in you get what you pay for, but here in the UK under armour is like £160 for a jacket ($200)... and that Galvin Green label is a joke, so expensive
I should mention Sunderland of Scotland rain gear. Made for golfers. Pure quality and comes with a lifetime waterproof guarantee. My experience with UA waterproofs is they only last 2-3 seasons of moderate use.
Couple of thoughts. Need a waterproof hat with a brim, rain goes down the back of your neck unless you've got the collar so tight you can't breathe. My fishing hat works well. Mygolfspy have just done their rain gear test, and there was a $1000 option in there, they had a good discussion on their No Putts Given TH-cam channel. Also, it's gotta breathe or wick away moisture otherwise you sweat so much you may as well not bother. Here in Aus NSW it doesn't get cold enough to worry about, so I just have a jacket & play in shorts year round. Enjoy your GA golf.
You need to join the AGA Tour. Play tournaments all over North Georgia and if you win you get it in a gift certificate to the club house of the club you're playing. Then you get free Foot Joy $500 rain pants and then win again get a really nice jacket. Or play in a member/guest at some swanky club and most of the time they give you a logo rain jacket.. Worked for me.
$450 for a new rain jacket or buy a new driver, lol. You should have checked out non golf stores, like Walmart or something to see how cheap you could get away there.
Work for a big box sports store here in Australia and get good discounts on under armour gear, hardest thing is getting golf clothes other than the basic polos and pants/shorts. Don't even sell golf shoes at my store....
That Galvin Green is good stuff, but unless you live in Scotland or Seattle or other rainy places, its not worth it. The Under Armor gear will keep you dry and you can get the whole suit for $10 more than just the Green pants cost. Besides, What you are paying for isn't a rain suit, it's anti-rain insurance. I live in GA also and I can tell you, the way it works here is: It starts to rain, you pull over and dig out the rain gear, put it all on and two holes later, the sun is out and all the gear comes back off.
Galvin Green. It's worth the money. They call them "waterproofs", not raingear. I played in Scotland and buying Galvin Green was the best thing I learned from the trip.
Lucked out yesterday and found a pair of UA waterproof pants at Ross for $19.99. Apparently with my hat and mask on I look older so I got the 55+ discount as well. $18 after tax.
Hold on to that PRGR as they seem to be out of them for a while now. been to there web site a few times and just tried again still no joy. good point is to make sure it is water proof and not water resistance.
Be glad to sell you mine, 2 weeks old and doesn’t seem accurate to me, plus, it’s lousy at picking up wedge distances which is the main reason I bought it.
They are often near each other...golf galaxy was rebrand of Golfsmith...Dick's is more into golf about few years ago and has some fitting bays at some locations....golf galaxy has a wider selection of both apparel and equipment plus custom fitting and club repair..
alcw 62 thanks for your feedback, I do know that Golfsmith was purchased by Dick’s and that some of them were turned into Golf Galaxy’s, but there were many Golf Galaxy’s around before that happened. I’ve been to and purchased from all 3, so I know about their store layout/set-up. Being in the military, I’ve been in or through a lot of states and have never seen a Dick’s that shares a sheer wall with a Golf Galaxy, but it is a good point that this could’ve been a Golfsmith that they just changed the name of...and probably removed their golf section in the Dick’s.
Galvin Green is the cream of the crop. That said the price is hard to swallow. Now that you know your size in GG check out golfposer during Black Friday.
If you buy top -end golf rain gear, it will end up being the most expensive suit you own, which you will scrunch up and stuff in a pocket of your golf bag, and hope never to use it! Seriously - adding the word “golf” to any product just adds dollars ( or pounds) to the price. I’ve bought rain gear that’s for mountain/ hill walking in the UK. It’s great. It’s not cheap, but it’s cheaper than Galvin Green or Kjuss stuff. And it works. Try Páramo and Rohan.
All Rain Gear no matter what brand or how expensive MUST be cared for with proper washing and application of DWR - I use Granger wash and DWR on my Gore-Tex. So many people are confused or just uninformed so do some research.
Galvin Green all the way it’s well worth the money, life time waterproof guarantee, i’ve had a set leak and they no fuss set a new jacket. Still wearing the trousers over 10 years old and as waterproof as the day bought if looked after.

I got a nice Galvin Green jacket on clearance and it is great. I like the MyGolfSpy buyers guide for rain gear too.
Here in Britain where it rains a lot, THE brand for rain gear is Galvin Green.
800 on a kit is stupid expensive but if it's the only thing that works when it rains more than half the time I guess it's something I would do but ouch I hope they are as durable as a tank
@@lakecityripper mine has lasted for years so a good investment. It’s the one golf item I have that never wears out.

I wear a full NorthFace rain suit. Completely water proof and got majority of it in sale. That’s worth looking into!
Galvin is worth every cent! Played in UK regularly in rain and never leaked once
I played in the rain today and used my dry joy jacket. It just works.
BTW, love the Caddyshack reference on your tee shirt.
Umbrella! To get into the clubhouse. Ain’t playing in the rain.
I can relate to that !!

Sunderland of Scotland is a better second choice than footjoy imho
The stop sweat stuff is hysterical 😂… I was about to see if they made something like that. Then you come and randomly mention that product. Brilliant!

Love my footjoy rain gear. So breathable, stretchy, prefect.
I was caught once this past summer in the rain and went for shelter. Good video Matt.
I love to golf just not in the rain.

Also great for layering on cold windy days . Good Rain Pants and Jacket get it done if you are a year round player
Nice comfortable shoes. So I can run when it starts raining.
now the UK is coming into autumn winter this is a great video. I got my from a fishing shop really cheap and work really well 👍🏻
I got Galway Bay rain pants and had incredible customer service - yes the owner did call me back as advertised on SiriusXM two years ago when I had problems with an order...I use them often here in the mid atlantic USA...i have the footjoy jacket but rarely use it....invest in a decent pair of rain gloves...the footjoys have gotten me through many a rainy drizzle here or "soft" days in Ireland.
Hi,from the ice California in la,have a winter vest and thinking about gating one per off pans
Me sittin in my $400 high school golf jacket
Yep, typical Golf Galaxy. I usually end up walking out empty handed too!
Thanks Matt! I love the great content and mix of content. Super helpful and most of all, entertaining! Have a great weekend gang!
Ireland here I'm not a fan of rain gear but sometimes it's necessary. I go with the under armour jacket but for the pants I wear normal pants with that water resistant surface.

Perfect timing Matt.

And ski gear isn't expensive????
Yea ski gear is expensive too. But I earn enough money to afford the expense for ski gear. Just purchased cargo ski pants and a jacket for $155. They aren't matching brands but I don't see why they won't do the job.
Very informative, thanks for the info. In the market for gear myself; perfect timing !
Quick off subject question: I watched a previous video of yours and saw you hitting off a tee with a string attached to it and the mat. Do you have a link or description as what that was? Thanks!!!

Welcome to our world in bonnie Scotland.you forgot to get an umbrella. Wait till you have to get a wooly hat, mits, hand warmers, and a flask of soup for the winter.i even got a heated jacket. Waterproofs are in my bag 365 days a year.
Ps make sure your camera is waterproof... 😂
Lucky here in South Africa we don't need all this... 365 days a year is great weather. We hardly put on our long pants in our winter season
It rained here in Australia today, so useful video
Hey Matt nice video! I like the UA stuff as well (for the price). what about gloves di you use gloves in the rain?
Does it breath though
looks really nice on you! I'm going to get me one. Also where is that PGA Store?
Does Mrs. short game always do the driving?
Galvin Green is nice and the Goretex is top of the range but $800 is a lot to spend on ‘occasional use’ The UA gear looks nice and pretty sure it will perform just fine for a third of the price.
I got a UA waterrepellent jacket and it works a treat. Fairly cheap for what it is and it never fails me.
Who makes your golf impact screen? Great video!
Jeffrey Yoder I think he said he got it from par2pro.
Dax thanks!
Jeffrey Yoder if you don’t mind something that could be slightly blemished, check out their clearance area where they sell some screens of certain dimensions that have some imperfection. The price on these ones when available cannot be beat.
I'd bet my house he would have bought the $800 set if it wouldn't have looked bad on youtube. My man matt is SERIOUSLY obsessed with golf, love it lol
You’re gunna need some rain gear to golf over the winter for sure. Good move, welcome to north GA!
What about a good thermal jacket for those NJ fall months? Footjoy, UA, Nike, Mizuno...lets talk about it.
I found some sunice gortex rain gear on sale and it was well worth it. I'll never not buy gortex rain gear. If I need something that absolutely must keep me dry, I am willing to pay a little bit for it. The pants and Jacket together were around $380 the sale I found. Well worth it.
Living in Scotland, I have as many waterproof jackets as you have putters. Very informative. P
Wow I wish we had golf shops like that in the uk, and it rains that much here waterproofs don’t matter we just get wet up north and carry on 👍🏻
Lucky here by my side in South Africa... Live inland, we hardly get rain and if it rain it only rain for a short period never a dull week. Also with our weather we play all year round never had a golf course close. Besides during Lockdown of covid-19
How did they hold up?
I’m short with a 29” inseam. I stumbled on ProQuip. A little expensive, but worth the expense, fit like a glove are light and best waterproof pants I have ever owned. It was a great investment
Galvin green gortex 💯
Best of best lasts for ever.. Spend the money... Total price id definitely expensive... But if you have for 10+ years.. Works out to nothing.. I just bought a new one.. Only because i wanted a bigger size.. Old one is 15 yrs old looks like new... If i didn't gain weight would still be using.... Hint buy one size bigger...

Hi I was wondering about if you can review the NEW RZN GOLF BALLS they are branded RZN i saw them in UK on a website called clubhouse golf i think they are a USA company though.
Hang in there Matt. As soon as hurricane season is over, it gets dry... at least until March/April.
What about some waterproof shoes? Can you do a video about that? More towards waterproof and cold weather shoes. Thank you
The T-shirt is tremendous!
Cool, didnt know you moved to Georgia!! Welcome, where did you move from?
Hey Matt, do they no longer sell rain gear jackets with the removalable half sleeves? The type Payne Stewart made famous. If it's raining in the GA humidity you will sweat your you-know-what off. Good luck with the full suit. Best, JPM
Hey Matt I wish I lived closer to you live so I can get a lessons from you
After that change of clothes I was thinking you could go on America's got talent in the quick change category & with your looks you would
be a sure fire winner. See you in the next vide-O !!!

Gloves? I worry about my grip in the heavy rain and have been thinking about getting gloves to keep in the bag for the rare occasion.
I just played in the pouring rain and wind without proper rain gear and it was brutal i could barely grip the club and was drenched and lost about 15 to 20 yards on each club except I drove the ball amazing for some reason
Just started to look for rain gear last week, got some trousers by Stormberg from American Golf and still looking for a jacket.

Anyone try the Baerskin rain suit?
You need to join the AGA Tour. Play tournaments all over North Georgia and if you win you get it in a gift certificate to the club house of the club you're playing. Then you get free Foot Joy $500 rain pants and then win again get a really nice jacket. Or play in a member/guest at some swanky club and most of the time they give you a logo rain jacket..

Yeah Cheap is always the way to go!
Great when the seams bust out in the middle of your backswing.
You get what you pay for.
Work for a big box sports store here in Australia and get good discounts on under armour gear, hardest thing is getting golf clothes other than the basic polos and pants/shorts. Don't even sell golf shoes at my store....
You’ll need a rain hat too Matt.
Matt - what abou the waterproof shoes, back here in CA we still have wet feet in teh early AM!
Under Armor puts their stuff on sale regularly. That jacket was in the $90 cdn.
That’s the same pga store I go to in Kennesaw. That’s awesome!! Let me know if you need a playing partner sometime 😁
That Galvin Green is good stuff, but unless you live in Scotland or Seattle or other rainy places, its not worth it. The Under Armor gear will keep you dry and you can get the whole suit for $10 more than just the Green pants cost. Besides, What you are paying for isn't a rain suit, it's anti-rain insurance. I live in GA also and I can tell you, the way it works here is: It starts to rain, you pull over and dig out the rain gear, put it all on and two holes later, the sun is out and all the gear comes back off.
Had a few wet suits Matt...but the best one to keep you dry is def galvin greens ....Okay expensive but keep you dry
What about all weather gloves?
Zero Restriction makes some great all weather gloves.
FootJoy
If you were interested in selling one of those swing caddies if you do not use them, I would be interested in buying one tbh.
TGW sells their brand of rain gear for under $50
a suit. Best deal out there
Galvin Green. It's worth the money. They call them "waterproofs", not raingear. I played in Scotland and buying Galvin Green was the best thing I learned from the trip.
Lucked out yesterday and found a pair of UA waterproof pants at Ross for $19.99. Apparently with my hat and mask on I look older so I got the 55+ discount as well. $18 after tax.
California: the golf capital of the world by my estimation. I don’t even own a golf umbrella.
I think it's about time you gave away some that excess gear Matt ;-)
Hold on to that PRGR as they seem to be out of them for a while now. been to there web site a few times and just tried again still no joy.
good point is to make sure it is water proof and not water resistance.
Be glad to sell you mine, 2 weeks old and doesn’t seem accurate to me, plus, it’s lousy at picking up wedge distances which is the main reason I bought it.
I’ve never seen 2 stores that are owned by the same company that close to each other. My guess is that Dick’s doesn’t have a golf section.
They are often near each other...golf galaxy was rebrand of Golfsmith...Dick's is more into golf about few years ago and has some fitting bays at some locations....golf galaxy has a wider selection of both apparel and equipment plus custom fitting and club repair..
alcw 62 thanks for your feedback, I do know that Golfsmith was purchased by Dick’s and that some of them were turned into Golf Galaxy’s, but there were many Golf Galaxy’s around before that happened. I’ve been to and purchased from all 3, so I know about their store layout/set-up. Being in the military, I’ve been in or through a lot of states and have never seen a Dick’s that shares a sheer wall with a Golf Galaxy, but it is a good point that this could’ve been a Golfsmith that they just changed the name of...and probably removed their golf section in the Dick’s.
You are so funny Matt
What are the product codes?
Hey Matt what about 100% waterproof golf bags I’ve been trying to find one for 20 years.maybe do a video on best bags
Sun Mountain H2NO
Nice outfit, does it come in man size?
Galvin Green is the cream of the crop. That said the price is hard to swallow. Now that you know your size in GG check out golfposer during Black Friday.
GavinGreen is worth the price. I am bone dry every time I use mine.
If you buy top -end golf rain gear, it will end up being the most expensive suit you own, which you will scrunch up and stuff in a pocket of your golf bag, and hope never to use it!
Seriously - adding the word “golf” to any product just adds dollars ( or pounds) to the price. I’ve bought rain gear that’s for mountain/ hill walking in the UK. It’s great. It’s not cheap, but it’s cheaper than Galvin Green or Kjuss stuff. And it works. Try Páramo and Rohan.
If you need help 'storing' some of that extra golf gear, I have plenty room. Just send them my way 😁😉
Cross|Sportswear...best ever.
I bring a change of dry clothes and utilize the umbrella I found 25 years ago and use good dry-towel management while playing.
$0 spent.
All Rain Gear no matter what brand or how expensive MUST be cared for with proper washing and application of DWR - I use Granger wash and DWR on my Gore-Tex. So many people are confused or just uninformed so do some research.
